Prince of Wales, Waterton Lakes BC ( off their website )
CANADA
Prince Suite – Prince of Wales, Waterton Lakes BC
This one surprised our team with water facing views and an expansive terrace – step aside Glacier Park. The Canadians figured out where to build in 1928, hosting all the Americans who were crossing the border to drink. Pleasure permeates this unique architecture, where the design evokes a wedding vibe. Tartans, kilts, the first elevator in Canada, famous tea time, wood panelling and the friendliest of staff. The most stunning views of the Upper Waterton Lake are icing on the cake. Just minutes from epic hiking and a short walk to town.
Fogo Island Inn ( off their website )
Flat Earth Suite Room 29 – Fogo Island Inn, Newfoundland
Shipping News Anyone? Glaciers? Puffins? Art? Economic education? Fresh berry juice? Modern architectural masterpiece? Fogo offers it all and so much more. Fogo Island and the Shorefast Foundation define hotel and hospitality disruption and sustainability. Ponder it all from the tub with the most rugged views of the Rock ala Newfoundland.
Kasbah Tamadot, Morocco
MOROCCO
Tented Suites – Kasbah Tamadot, Asni
Having just been in Morocco, we’re doing all we can to encourage folks to head there. Indeed Richard Bransons Kasbah Tamadot made it through the earthquake in 2023! We’ve been big fans of these rooms for many years for their amazing views over the Atlas Mountains.
